Description
Bring the water outlet forward
Add an accessible manual tap to a matching IBC outlet with this S60x6 extended adapter and 32mm spout kit.
The black adapter connects the tank outlet to the white PP tap. Its angled hose outlet and blue lever give you a practical point to control water transfer.
Check the tank thread and valve-handle clearance before ordering. Tank, hose and hose clips are separate.
Check the tank connection, then the clearance
The large end of the black adapter has a female S60x6 thread. It needs a matching male S60x6 outlet on your IBC. Not every tank uses this thread, and a similar-looking outlet is not proof of compatibility.
The smaller socket is 1-inch BSP female, matched to the tap's 1-inch BSP male inlet. These are the kit's internal connecting threads; the tap does not screw directly into an S60x6 outlet.
Check the space around the tank's own valve handle as well as the thread. The fitted assembly must leave enough room to operate that valve and the blue tap lever without removing or forcing the spout.
Pour directly or connect a suitable hose
The downward-angled outlet can direct water into a suitably positioned container. For a hose connection, the kit has a 32mm barbed outlet; choose a hose with a suitable 32mm internal diameter and check the fit before use.
Secure a hose with an appropriate clip and support it so its weight does not pull on the plastic assembly. Hose and clips are not included. This is a hose barb, not a garden quick-connect spigot.
The kit is presented for water transfer and drainage. No drinking-water, fuel, oil or specific chemical-use certification is stated here; compatibility with other liquids must be established for the complete assembly before use.
What arrives with your order?
One PP tap with a blue manual lever, 1-inch BSP male inlet and angled 32mm barbed outlet; one extended PP adapter with female S60x6 tank connection and 1-inch BSP female socket; and one roll of PTFE tape.
This page now shows the current black extended-adapter kit, replacing the earlier blue-cap version. Earlier customer reviews may describe that previous version. The IBC tank, hose, clips and collection container are not supplied.
Check before assembly
Close the tank valve and make sure the connection can be worked on without releasing stored water. Compare the outlet thread with the S60x6 adapter and check the sealing faces.
Connect the two joints
Use the adapter's tank-side seal as intended. Use PTFE tape where appropriate on the tap's BSP threaded joint; it is not a substitute for a missing face seal. Assemble by hand without cross-threading or overtightening.
Open gradually and inspect
Position the outlet, check both handle clearances and support any connected hose. Open the supply gradually and inspect the joints. Close the tank valve before adjusting, and drain the assembly before freezing conditions.
Questions about the IBC tap kit
Will this fit every IBC tank?
No. The supplied adapter needs a matching male S60x6 outlet. Check the thread and the space around the tank's own valve handle. S60x6 and 1-inch BSP are different threads; the supplied adapter connects between them.
What size hose connects to the outlet?
The tap has a 32mm barbed outlet for a suitable hose with 32mm internal diameter. Confirm the hose fit, use an appropriate retaining clip and support the hose. Hose and clips are separate. A garden quick-connect socket does not clip directly onto this barb.
Does the kit include the adapter and PTFE tape?
Yes. One tap, one black extended S60x6-to-1-inch BSP adapter and one roll of PTFE tape are included. The tap-to-adapter joint is 1-inch BSP. The tank connection is S60x6.
Is this the same blue-cap kit shown in older reviews?
This is its current replacement, using the black extended adapter shown in the photographs. Earlier reviews remain on this page and may refer to the previous blue-cap version. Check the current photographs, connection details and clearance for your tank before ordering.

What is BSP?
What is BSP thread size?
BSP (British Standard Pipe) is a nominal pipe-thread size, not a direct measurement of a fitting’s bore or outside diameter. For example, a ½-inch BSP male thread measures about 21mm across its outer thread crests.
These figures are approximate outside diameters of male BSP threads, to help identify the nominal size. They are not inch-to-millimetre unit conversions:
- 3/8" BSP → 16.66 mm
- 1/2" BSP → 20.95 mm
- 3/4" BSP → 26.44 mm
- 1" BSP → 33.25 mm
- 1.25" BSP → 41.91 mm
- 1.5" BSP → 47.80 mm
- 2" BSP → 59.61 mm
- 3" BSP → 87.88 mm
- 4" BSP → 113.03 mm
Measure across the outside of a male thread, then check its pitch and whether it is parallel or tapered. Diameter alone does not confirm compatibility. Check the product’s stated thread specification before connecting.
